Spring, the time of year when everything in nature is celebrating beautiful new beginnings; so why not include your hair, even if it means doing it yourself!

Like many, you may be self-isolating with no access to your hairdresser, dreading the imminent appearance of your natural roots or grey hairs and wondering if now is the time to step out of your comfort zone and opt for an at-home do.

Well, it’s easier than you think! All you need is a little guidance through the plethora of hair colour products on the market to determine what’s best for you.

Do’s and Don’ts of Hair Dyeing

As with anything, the fewer the chemical ingredients, the better. Herbatint, 100% Vegan from Italy, is the safest and most gentle natural alternative hair colour gel in the world – free of ammonia, resorcinol, alcohol, parabens and added fragrances.

By eliminating ammonia, there is little or no penetration of the epidermis, thus reducing the potential for allergic reactions. Although Herbatint has been dermatologically tested on sensitive skin, a patch test is always recommended with the purchase of any new beauty product.

While peroxide is present in all hair dye, even natural options, Herbatint’s hair colour line contains one of the lowest levels of peroxide on the market to avoid structural damage to the hair shaft and scalp.
